Thank you very much for furnishing this context for the posting. I thought to include a figure from Menotti, but I chose instead to go with some impressions of my own - borrowed, of course. If you should see this reply please do not hesitate to offer guidance on a recording; the one I selected, I happen very much to like, and recall it was warmly received at the time by the editors of Gramophone - who also, I think, once gave their highest recognition to Upshaw's "Knoxville." Be that as it may, thank you again for coming, and for helping one to embrace Samuel Barber on the 4th ~
Barber was the lover of Gian Carlo Menotti, and wrote his greatest music when the two men were a couple.
